只是祭司太少，不能把所有燔祭牲的皮都剝盡，故此他們的族弟兄利未人輔助他們、直到工作都作完了，並等到祭司們都潔淨自己為聖了：因為利未人心正意誠地潔淨自己為聖勝過祭司們。

但祭司太少，不能剥尽燔祭牲的皮，所以他们的弟兄利未人帮助他们，直等燔祭的事完了，又等别的祭司自洁了；因为利未人诚心自洁，胜过祭司。

惟祭司尚寡、未能盡剝燔祭之牲、故其同族利未人助之、迨其事畢、亦待祭司自潔、蓋利未人誠心自潔、愈於祭司、

祭司甚寡、剝燔祭之皮、弗遑暇及、其同儔利未人助之、迨他祭司自潔以竣厥事、蓋利未人黽勉以潔己、較諸祭司、其誠過之。

The priests, however, were too few to skin all the burnt offerings; so their relatives the Levites helped them until the task was finished and until other priests had been consecrated, for the Levites had been more conscientious in consecrating themselves than the priests had been.

But there weren’t enough priests to skin all the burnt offerings. So their relatives, the Levites, helped them. They worked until the task was finished. By that time other priests had been set apart to the Lord. The Levites had been more careful than the priests when they set themselves apart.

But the priests were too few and could not flay all the burnt offerings, so until other priests had consecrated themselves, their brothers the Levites helped them, until the work was finished— for the Levites were more upright in heart than the priests in consecrating themselves.

But there were too few priests to prepare all the burnt offerings. So their relatives the Levites helped them until the work was finished and more priests had been purified, for the Levites had been more conscientious about purifying themselves than the priests had been.

However, since there were not enough priests, they weren’t able to skin all the burnt offerings, so their Levite brothers helped them until the work was finished and until the priests consecrated themselves. For the Levites were more conscientious to consecrate themselves than the priests were.

But the priests were too few, so that they were unable to skin all the burnt offerings; therefore their brothers the Levites helped them until the work was finished and the other priests had consecrated themselves. For the Levites were more conscientious to consecrate themselves than the priests.

But the priests were too few, so that they could not skin all the burnt offerings; therefore their brethren the Levites helped them until the work was ended and until the other priests had sanctified themselves, for the Levites were more diligent in sanctifying themselves than the priests.

But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt- offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

利未人宰了逾越節的羊羔，祭司從他們手裏接過血來潑，利未人則剝皮，

正月間他們不能守，因為潔淨自己為聖的祭司還不夠用，人民也沒有聚集在耶路撒冷。

我看我、我曾經把你們的族弟兄利未人從以色列人中選取出來、做禮物給了你們、來歸永恆主，來辦理會棚的事務。你和你兒子們呢、卻要和你一同守盡你們的祭司職任、來辦一切屬於祭壇的事、和帷帳以內的事；你們要這樣辦事。我將你們的祭司職任做辦事的禮物給了你們；走近來非祭司的平常人就必須被處死。』

我的盾牌是在於上帝，那拯救心裏正直的人的。

此後利未人要進來伺候會棚；你要使他們潔淨，用搖獻禮將他們奉為搖獻祭。

他們要守盡你的職守、和全帳棚的職守，只是聖所的器具和祭壇、你們卻不可走近，免得他們死亡、連你們也和他們都死亡。

因為公道的判斷總要重歸於義人；心裏正直的人都要跟着公義而行。

對他們說：『利未人哪，你們要聽我說；現在你們要潔淨自己為聖，也使永恆主你們列祖之上帝的殿潔淨為聖，從聖所中把污穢之物拿出來。

我從以色列人中正式將利未人賜給亞倫和他的子孫、去在會棚中辦以色列人應辦的事務，為以色列人行除罪禮，免得以色列人挨近聖所時有疫病臨到他們中間。』

永恆主啊，我要洗手表明無辜，才來繞行你的祭壇，

我的上帝啊，我知道是你察驗人心，喜悅正直；至於我呢、我也以正直的心自願奉獻這一切；現在呢、我很歡喜見你那在這裏的人民都甘心自願地奉獻與你。

遵着神人摩西的律法、照規矩站在自己的地位，祭司們從利未人們手裏接過來，將血去潑祭壇。在大眾中有許多人還沒有潔淨自己為聖，所以利未人有責任為一切不潔淨的人宰逾越節的羊羔，使他們在永恆主面前成為聖潔。
